Thanks man! I love the encouragement! I think logging like this really helps me stay accountable. You guys have been a great group to do this with!
It definitely helps boost the confidence some.
Thanks man. I put a lot of time and effort into learning how to make dieting a colorful experience so I don't get bored. Doing the same thing over and over kind of hurt me in the past.
Plenty more where that came from. I don't want to rely on protein powders like I've done in the past, but sometimes I just don't even feel hungry enough to eat that much real food. If I do try out whey again it will be a very clean, no sugar added, no flavors added isolate for the reasons I outlined earlier. It's also good to have in a pinch if I happen to get too busy to sit down for a meal.

Noticing a few short bouts of euphoria today. I decided to copy Kenpo and post a picture of my much less impressive garage setup.

That looks just like my original setup about 15 years ago. It takes time and finding the deals to create the perfect gym. Nice start and remember that it's a journey and not a destination. Lol

I hear you man. Right now I'm focused on getting by until I'm out of school. I don't know that I'll build anything too serious until my wife and I get into a house we plan to live in for many years. I have right around $600 invested in the equipment I have now.

Agree. For example, off Craigslist a few weeks ago I scored 490 lbs of milled York plates, bar and spin collars for $200. They were from the 50's. Rusted but in great shape.

No doubt. I've always been a function over fashion guy.
Craigslist is how I got all of my weights, my rack/bar/incline-decline bench, and dumbbells. The rest was from Amazon sales.

Greetings from leg day. I will update my log with my workout asap. My Mom is visiting from out of state and I'm wiped out.

I slept like crap last night. This isn’t out of the ordinary the night before I work my 12-hour day. I was pretty groggy when I got up today, and I didn’t really gain the same mental acuity as yesterday until midday. Same supplement regimen as yesterday. My libido was through the roof today. I definitely still had that alpha feeling. I’m feeling tighter and pumped from this week’s workouts. Not as sore as I would usually be after changing up the routine for a week. Today was the infamous leg day.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Warm Up:
Dumbbell Lunge 45x5 each leg followed by Barbell Squat 135x5
Dumbbell Lunge 45x5 each leg followed by Barbell Squat 155x5
Dumbbell Lunge 45x5 each leg followed by Barbell Squat 175x5
Dumbbell Lunge 45x5 each leg followed by Barbell Squat 195x5
12 Minutes of Stretching
Barbell Squat: 205x10 for 4 sets
Stiff-Legged Deadlifts: 185x10 for 4 sets
Barbell Calf-Raises: 225x20 for 8 sets
HIIT: None
Calories/Macros: 2,299 Protein 225g Carbs 5 Fat 154g
Notes: I worked out much later in the day than usual. It was cold, and warming up was definitely a priority. Once I got warmed up I felt like I was crushing my workout. I had to fight through a lot of reps, but the pain felt magnificent. Legs are now jelly. I eliminated carbs for the day so I could make sure my glycogen stores are sufficiently depleted for carb up this weekend. I'm feeling amped for next week. I'll weigh and measure again in the morning.

I'm not counting fiber toward my net carbs since it is indigestible. All I had yesterday aside from meat was some almonds.

Here is my weekly assessment.
Last Week’s/This Week’s Weigh In: 241/239
Last Week’s/This Week’s Measurements:
Chest:44/44
Waist:49/46
Thighs:28/28
Calves:17.5/17.5
Arms:17.5/17.5
Shoulders: 55/55
Observations so far: First I have to say that I think this supplement is the real deal. I can’t be sure about the first few days, but by day 3 I was noticing marked improvements in motivation and aggressiveness in the gym. Water weight was starting to drop off really quickly too. Mental acuity was up after a few days when my rest was adequate. I have noticed very little soreness after switching up my routine for the week, so I think recovery is up. My libido has been through the roof. Toward the end of the second week on Rise and Swell I was noticing some itchiness in my nipples, but that has not happened again since starting Elimistane. At this rate, next week can only get better.

Thanks man. I thought low carbs would be a huge problem, but after a few days it really didn't bother me. If I had your lifestyle it would be no bueno. I think having so much weight to lose makes keto the right approach for me right now.
Thanks man. It was so damned cold in the garage I wanted to really make my warm up intense enough to get my knees ready for the hard sets. I'm going to have to put another space heater in there with me for sure.
Love the encouragement! Thanks man!

I'm pretty excited about that. Next week should prove interesting as the weights are going up, volume is going down, and cardio will be increased.
Fortunately I still have good jeans and shirts I haven't been able to wear for awhile to fall back on!
It's paying off enough to stoke that fire that's been lit under my ass. Can't wait to train tomorrow!
Thanks man! This week we're taking things up a notch.
My wife has always said it's good for her teeth and hair if you ever need to build a strong case.

I started the Rise and Swell again with L-Arginine and Elimistane right after I woke up. Thirty minutes later I ate, took the rest of my supplements, and downed my PWO’s with coffee. I noticed immediately that I was way more energetic today than last week. I still put water weight back on over carb up days, but didn’t feel as flat or bloated as usual. I started my workout about 45 minutes later. I’m going back to my upper/lower split this week. I’m still getting that alpha aggressiveness and the libido is still up. Today was the lower part of my split.
Duration: 1 hour 20 minutes
Warm Up: Barbell Squat 45x5, 95x5, 115x5, 135x5, 155x5, 175x5, 195x3, 215x3, 235x3
Low-bar Back Squat: 255x5 for 3 sets
Deadlift: 275x5 for 2 sets
Stiff-legged Deadlift/Barbell Calf-Raises Super Set: 205x8/205x30 for 2 sets
HIIT: None
Total Calories/Macros: 2,332 Protein 226g Carbs 26g Fat 146g
Notes: It was another cold day in the garage. I made sure to warm up adequately and kept the space heater on my legs between working sets. Fighting through those last few reps is really giving me some euphoria and feeding the ego. Unfortunately, by the end of the second superset I tweaked my back. I guess I should have kept some heat directed there as well. I finished the set and called it quits for the day. The strain isn’t too bad. I’m going to nurse it and keep the Bengay handy. Tomorrow I should be fine to lift and do cardio. I’ll probably be using my belt though.

Thanks. It should be fine by tomorrow. It isn't even too bad. I just didn't want to risk aggravating it further and messing up the rest of my routine this week. I think it's about time to implement a base layer and kick the space heaters up a notch.The tweaked back means I get a free pass to do as little of the work as necessary while exercising said libido. Haha. :1244:

You know it.
This is one of those recurring spots I have trouble with in the lower back from being a dumb ass teenager. The temperature issue is the only downside I've found to the garage gym so far. Well, that and waging war on the spiders in the summer. I'm glad my knees at least held up and the legs still felt like jelly afterward. Live to lift another day!

I followed the same protocol as yesterday when waking up. Not quite as much energy after waking up, but it still kicked in after breakfast/supplements and preworkouts. My back was feeling good enough to kill it today. I did wear a belt and kept it warm with a space heater and Bengay and extra layers. It held up nicely. Not even a twinge of pain. Today was the upper part of my split. No sides to report, and the libido and alpha feeling are still there. Less water weight today. Pumps were still present after waking and incredible during my workout.
Duration: 1 hour 40 minutes
Warm Up: Barbell Bench Press- 45x10, 65x5, 75x5, 95x5, 115x5, 135x5, 155x3 followed by ten minutes of stretching
Bench Press: 175x5 for 3 sets
Bent Rows: 175x5 for 3 sets
Military Press: 115x3 (missed a rep), 105x5
Rack Pull-Ups: To failure, which was 24 reps
Dumbbell Shoulder Press/Hammer Curl Super Set: 45x12/45x8 for 3 sets
HIIT: 12 Minutes
Total Calories/Macros: 2,373 Protein 226 Carbs 41 Fat 144
Notes: I was glad to see a little progress on my overhead. 115 was my 1RM for a while. I’ll reassess it on Friday, but I’m glad to see I could push it up for a few more reps. Still feeling great through my workouts. The mental edge has been nice. I added some whey back in today. No bloating as of yet, but I’m going to monitor that closely. I think I’m in love with the Elimistane/Rise and Swell combo.

Everything is going great so far. Can't wait to see the results at the end of the month. The wife is definitely happy, which makes it that much better.
